To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.
Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
It's way easier to write for other people. Yourself isn't in it. When you write for yourself, you overthink, and you become paranoid. When you write for others, it isn't about you.
Really, as a writer, I believe that if you're going to write about your own life, you need to do it as honestly and candidly as you are capable.
When you write, you write out of your best self. Everything else drops away.
Writing is just something I've always done. It's just kind of the reality of who I am.
Writing is taking a risk, and it is actually fighting invisible and invincible enemies. They are over-confidence, stupidity, expectation and narcissism.
I don't think it's good to say that you won't do certain things, but I don't necessarily have the natural urge to write.
Writers are not just people who sit down and write. They hazard themselves. Every time you compose a book your composition of yourself is at stake.
You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.
